Call of Duty made its usual big splash at E3 this year, and we sent Mitch and James to get the lowdown on the newest game in the series, Call of Duty: Ghosts. They were fortunate enough to get a few minutes with Daniel Suarez, Vice President, Production at Activision, who filled us in on the upcoming sequel.

We sent Mitch and James to meet with Warner Brothers at E3, hoping that we’d get the lowdown on Batman: Arkham Origins. They went on-camera with Eric Holmes from WB Games to find out everything they could about the Caped Crusader’s latest opus.

Enjoy the video, and let us know if you’re excited for Arkham Origins in the comments below!

You’ve all heard about all the swag one can amass at a big gaming show, right? Have you ever wanted to get some of that swag for your very own? Well, thanks to Mitch and James, you can.

One title that’s on every PC gamer’s radar after E3 this year is Thief. The return of Garrett is something we’ve all been looking forward to for a very long time (just read our preview if you don’t believe me), so we dispatched our dynamic video duo to get more information from Eidos.

Mitch and James got to chat with Developer Stephane Roy at the event, and now you get to watch it. How excited are you for this reboot?

After all the craziness we’ve seen in the trailers for Saint’s Row 4, not to mention what we saw at the pre-E3 event, we had to find out more. To that end, we sent Mitch and James to the Deep Silver booth at E3 to get all the info. They sat down with Designer Scott Phillips of Volition to get the low down on the latest installment in the Saints Row franchise.

At this year’s E3, we had the opportunity to chat with Dark Souls 2 Director Yui Tanimura about the upcoming sequel. After a bit of consideration, we figured there was no one better to send to this interview than our resident Dark Souls experts, Mitchell Saltzman and James Heaney.

Enjoy the video, and tell us what you’re looking forward to from Dark Souls 2!

Garrett’s been gone a long time from the world of video games, but he’s finally making his return and he’s doing so in a big way. The master thief made his full, debut appearance in a trailer released today by Square Enix.

It doesn’t contain any actual gameplay, but Garrett (replete with a new voice actor) narrates his return and makes a philosophical statement on his raison d’etre.

“Stealing is my way of life. It sets me free in the night. Every rivet and stitch, lets me find what I most desire.

“The cloth that hides me, the tools that arm me, all lead to that priceless moment. You may think you caught me but think again because when I want something, I always get it. I am Garrett, did you miss me?”

Developed for next-gen platforms, the game is scheduled for release next year on the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. It will be making a showing at this year’s E3.

The game is an alternate history retelling in which the Nazis beat the Allies to the nuclear bomb, won World War II and subsequently took over the world. Only one man—B.J. Blazkowicz—can stand up against their tyranny and it’s up to him to put an end to the regime once and for all.

The trailer itself contains some backstory on how the Nazis came to take over the world, with scenes of alternate history America—there’s an astronaut giving the Nazi salute as he plants a Swastika flag on the moon, a nurse struggling helplessly against a Nazi on V-Day, and a quad of Nazis walking down Abbey Road in the famous cover of the Beatles album.

Beyond that, we see some short scenes of gameplay footage, marking the trailer as Wolfenstein: The New Order’s gameplay debut.

The game is expected for release later this year on the PC and current-gen console platforms.

Deep Silver and Volition have pulled the cloth off Saints Row IV with the release of a new trailer ahead of E3, and it features none other than Keith David, who stars as himself in the upcoming hypermanic open-world action game.

In the latest trailer, we see quite a bit of the President (by which I mean to say that we see him in the nude) as he finds himself trapped in a simulation in which he has to fight his way out of with the help of Kenzie and the rest of the Saints. There are superpowers, gun fights, and all manner of sci-fi goodness in store, replete with dramatic music and movie voiceovers.

The game is slated for release this August on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Last year, Game Front went to E3 and we brought with us the professionalism in the form of a banana mic.

“People like it when you bring it to the next level of technology, and sometimes that next level is minimalism,” said Mitch while holding up a banana… mic. In case you’re wondering, it just a banana.

We’re going to have E3 editions of Game Front Gauntlet, James vs Games, as well as interviews, booth tours, and all kinds of cool stuff when we head to E3. Are as excited as we are?

Our series of E3 2012 game developer interviews with video host Wil Wheaton continues with Jeffrey Yohalem, the lead writer for Far Cry 3. Check out the interview above, in which Yohalem explains his thoughts on telling interactive stories, the advancements of motion capture technology as it relates to writing, and the ways in which game writing can often get in the player’s way with heavy-handed techniques such as cutscenes. For Yohalem, interactivity is key, and that’s what he says he’s tried to achieve in Far Cry 3.
